Nottingham Forest have been linked with surprise interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
Head coach Steve Cooper is looking to bolster his central midfield ranks before transfer deadline day on September 1, with a number of players linked to the club so far. The latest name to be connected to Forest is Ndombele, who has fallen down the pecking order in north London.
He made nine Premier League appearances for Tottenham last season before joining Lyon on loan and could now be set for an early exit from Tottenham having joined three years ago for a whopping £55 million. According to a report in Ndombele's native France, Forest have "ticked his name" but face competition from a host of other clubs across Europe.
